Certainly that would make removal of the ads easier, but finding them - if the podcast files are random extracts of longer files (ie the ads may be anywhere at all in them, not eg always around the - say - 4 mins in point, is still going to be tricky. Assuming that one can near-instantly id something as jingle or ad if one clicks play at some point on a timeline, one's still going to have to do that manually maybe 30 times (ie every 20 seconds) in a ten-minute file. It might still be easier to use a script to generate (say) 2-second snips of each source file at 20-25 second intervals, then concatenate them and listen to a set to find out if any of them seem to contain ads/jingles. > My guess is that this really isn't going to be easy to do, and you'll > have to spend the time to audit the results of trials to see how many > files they worked on, and in the end it'll take a lot of time. I think that too. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
